What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Aetna dentist in Nanwalek, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Nanwalek‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
